Vista + Wireless = @!$%&*
I have been literally trying for weeks to connect to a certain
wireless network and have had ZERO luck....! There are three available networks within the realm of my house: NETWORK1, NETWORK2, and NETWORK3. NETWORK1 is a "local" wireless network (the wireless router and internet connection are in my house). NETWORK1 has WEP enabled. NETRWORK2 and NETWORK3 are not in my house. WEP is not enabled on these two networks. I am able to connect to all three networks just fine from my desktop and two other laptops I have. I'm only able to connect to NETWORK1 from my new Vista laptop. I've disabled TCP/IP v.6 on the laptop and I still cannot connect to the other networks. Does Vista suck this much?!?!

Apparently, Vista does not want you to STEAL your neighbours' bandwidth,
which you are doing with your desktop! "A. Robinson" wrote: I have been literally trying for weeks to connect to a certain wireless network and have had ZERO luck....!

Actually, my neighbor and I share and share alike. We have one netowrk we use
as our jukebox - which is open to either of us, and we have our personal/private networks... No one likes being called a thief, Mick...

Well, if you're certain that you know who owns the other network, and you have permission, then look at the technical issues. But I've seen a few cases where folks thought they were connecting to a known neighbour, and instead were connecting to an unknown neighbour, and getting an unreliable signal. And there are numerous possible technical issues for you to consider. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
